" ' ' ' -; On the other hand advices from Washington , are to the effect that China has asked the United States to co-operate with Great Britain, Russia, Germany, France and Italy to put an . end to the war, asserting that she has ' recognized the independence of Corea heretofore and will continue to do so, and will pay Japan a war indemnity.

The Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY. tDEOEMBER 1. 1894 A POLITICAL CONSCIENCE . The revolt against Tammany is not of recent growth, but has been in ac tive' operation for long years. As representative of corrupt ring rale this band of New York politicians are the best examples knewn in the history of the country. They have not only controlled conventions and nominated the candidates they desired, bat secured their election at the polls. - Fifteen or twenty men, in a republic of many million people, to have concentrated in in themselves almost unlimited politi al power is dangerous to the per petuity of free institutions and the purity of the ballot box. The political . sins of omission and of commission that were traced directly to Tammany Ailed a long list, and were of a very flagrant kind. Its influence begins to be felt in all parts of the republic, and New York became the center of a ring that was as autocratic in its sway as the czar of Russia. Nothing, could withstand its ' power, ...

The Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY. .. . '. ..DECEMBER 1, 1S94 HEW YORK'S . CONSTITUTION. The victory recently won at the polls was so emphatically a triumph of the Republican principle of protection over the Democratic principle of free trade, and in New York city of honest government over the Tammany boodle system, says an exchange, that all else was overshadowed, bat as a matter of ' fact the adoption of the new constitution of the state of New York was a long and highly im portant step toward reform in consti tutional law Twenty four years ago Illinois made a no less important step . of the same general character, albeit the system of cumulative voting" for members of the assembly was a griev ous mistake, one which each successive . general assembly, prior to the one just elected, has concurred in demon strating to have been a mistake.

Less than a month ago the preaent administration received , the severest rebuke ever administered to a political party, and it was not to be expected that the president would smile complacently under the censure and acknowledge that it was deserved, This- is not human nature, and we doubt if any president in the history of the republic ever wrote a state paper of such importance as an an- nual message to the law-making power ' of the nation under each unfavorable conditions. - Two years before -the country had endorsed the policy of the executive, and in November last they had emphatically and unqualifiedly condemned Democracy and free trade, The president congratulates the - country upon ' the (peaceful relations existing with other nations, and, per baps, the...

It was an act in which the natriotio Christian DeoDle ' all over the land might well take an Interest. First, Dr. and Mrs. Whit man were devoted missionaries, ho gave their lives to the service. Their career as roissionarias was such as to call out the unqualified admiration of all Christian people. But it may be said they only performed their whole duty, as thousands of other mission aries have done who sacrificed home and all its comforts for the work of their Master.

The Times-Mountains r SATURDAY.. DECEMBER 15. IS 4 THE SCHOOL-BOOK QUESTION A question of great importance to all citizens, because it. relates to the public schools, is that of the change .or retention of the present text-book?. This will soon be decided by a ote of the school superintendents of the state, .and the decision will settle the matter for the next five years, One impor tant phase to every question daring these time of financial depression is that of economy, and a change of the present text-books would incur an ex pense' on those the least able to bear thn burden.' The object of the public schools is to furnish the means of education to those not pecuniarily able to avail themselves of private" tutors or of institutions not supported by the state, and an education is absolutely necessary to citizenship. If the ' per petuity of free institutions is desired - every person ahoald fit himself or her self for citizenship by such a training of the mental faculties as would gi...

GO The times-Moontaineer SATURDAY. .....DECEMBER 15. 1S94 TEB G0VRRS0R8 OF ALABAMA What effect Governor Kolb's advice to the taxpayers of Alabama may have remains to be seen, says the Inter Ocean. Governor Oates, of course, will direct the tax collectors to gather revenue from all the counties of the state. But there are thirty-eight - counties iu which a majority of the people do not believe that Governor Oates 'really is governor, against twenty-eight in which his claim to the office is recognized by a majority; It also happens that the thirty eight ., counties in which Kolb is believed to be the lawful governor pay a much larger percentage of the state's taxes than the twentv-eieth in which the claim of Oates is recognized. Nor can it iustlv be ureed that Oates is more of a governor in fact than Kolb. Hitherto all that either has done toward asserting the- rights of office is to take the oath of office and to issue an address. The oath that Kolb took before a simple justice of th...

Co : The Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY.. DECEMBER 22. 1894 THE FINANCIAL QUESTION. ' Another issue of bonds is said to be in night. Already the gold reserve, notwithstanding its recent replenish ment, is below the $100,000,000 limit. That limit is not fixed by law, bat it has gradually come to be regarded -as about the right figure. President Cleveland, during his first term, gave special emphasis to this limit. It is, however, a matter admitting of great elasticity. The one thing needful is to be in position at all times to meet a run on the treasury for gold for the redemption of greenback and treasury notes issued under the act of 1890. The anxiety of the administration to pass the Carlisle bill is due largely to a desire to be rid of the responsi bility of maintaining specie payments, says the Ineer Ocean. With the gov ernment legal-tender notes converted into interest-bearing bonds, which ia the fundamental feature of the finan cial policy of the administration, the government wou...

The Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY.... ..DECKMBER 22. 1894 V AGAINST WOMEN. "In his address at Central Musio - Hall, Chicago, Wednesday evening Hon. Carl Scharz, president of the National Civil Service League, spoke unsparingly of Secretary Carlisle's I disregard of civil service rale, save an exchange. He arraigned him first for . an, act of gross nepotism, and then charged him with carrying into effect some of the worst workings of the spoils system. This included the mat ter of removals, redactions and ap- pointmenU, all of - which bare been influenced by outrageous partisanism. Mr. Scharz neglected to point out one especially aggravated feature of Mr. Carlisle's administration, and that is bis cowardly and unjust discrimina tion against the women employed in the various departments within his .jurisdiction. Daring the recent cam paign in Illinois, in which women ex ' ercised a partial franchise, the Demo cratic party, with an eye to votes, posed as the friend of women. At the same t...
